The thing I wish someone told me before getting into startups is that actually no one cares at all about your startup
Quote Tweet
i failed pretty hard at my first startup--it sucked!--and am doing pretty well on my second.
the thing i wish someone told me during the first one is that no one else thinks about your failures as much as you do, and that as long as don't psych yourself out you can try again.

Powerful piece.

I never want to debate, but if I had to, I would hope to lose.
I would rather be convinced of theirs. It’s more interesting to assume that they are right.”

The crazy thing is that most founders have the answer, they just don't listen to the voice inside until it's way too late

If you are currently working with an aggregator and it fails 50%+ of the time (Plaid, Finicity, Yodlee, etc), reach out. Have a portco in stealth that can help big time.

💫We all know someone we're grateful for. A friend, family member, or colleague who would appreciate a thoughtful note. But we often forget to reach out—or don't know what to say.
We built a new site to make being thoughtful easier with the magic of AI: spreadpositivitytoday.com

I am constantly in awe of Walt Disney's brilliance.
It's crazy to think about how this diagram he drew in 1957 is as accurate today as it was back then.

The first time I noticed this principle was when the routing number was copyable right next to my account number.
Because that just makes so much freaking sense.

One of the product principles of @mercury is the little details are where quality shows up. That's why we added a way to get your company's EIN from the Settings menu
One of those small "where do I find that?" tasks made that little bit easier

Email has become practically unusable because of so much spam
Now similar is happening with Telegram.
How do we prevent this from corrupting web3 social media?
It would be cool if you could set a cost for someone to message you & if you message back, they get the money back
